So far this year I’ve
supported a young person for
375
days in a life-changing journey
to overcome homelessness
*Support includes specialist services such as Youth Coaches,
Education and Employment and Therapeutic Staff.
Sleeping rough is tough, let’s help young people sleep safe
Half way there…still hoping to raise more vital funds to get young people off the street and into safe housing 🙏Who wants to join me @SleepAtTheG ?
There’s something incredibly powerful about spending a night at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground — not in the stands cheering for your team, but on the concrete, under the stadium lights, in a sleeping bag.
The MCM Sleep at the ’G isn’t just an event. It’s an experience that invites us to step — even briefly — into the reality faced by thousands of young people experiencing homelessness across Victoria.
Why It Matters
On any given night, too many young people in our community don’t have a safe place to sleep. They are navigating trauma, family breakdown, mental health challenges, and financial instability — often alone.
The MCM Sleep at the ’G raises critical funds for Melbourne City Mission’s frontline services, which provide:
- Crisis accommodation
- Outreach support
- Mental health services
- Education and employment pathways
- Long-term housing solutions
This isn’t just about one night. It’s about creating stability, dignity, and hope.
The Power of Community
There’s something profoundly unifying about thousands of people coming together in one of Melbourne’s most iconic spaces for a shared purpose. Under the vast roofline of the ’G, the experience becomes bigger than any one individual.
You hear stories.
You reflect.
You feel the discomfort.
And you leave with a deeper understanding of why change is needed.
More Than Fundraising
Yes, the funds raised are essential. But equally important is awareness.
Events like Sleep at the ’G help shift the narrative around homelessness — especially youth homelessness. It’s not about choice. It’s not about laziness. It’s about vulnerability, systemic gaps, and the need for collective responsibility.
Why I’m Supporting This
For me, supporting initiatives like this is about standing alongside community — recognising that dignity and safety are fundamental rights. When we show up, we send a powerful message: you are seen, and you matter.

We Have The Power To End Youth Homelessness
Every night, over 122,000 Australians experience homelessness. That’s more than the maximum capacity of the great MCG. And alarmingly, a quarter of all these people are between the ages of 12 and 24.
In Victoria, more than 7,600 young people experience homelessness every night.
Young people need more than a safe place to live, they need stability and support to develop life skills, heal from trauma, and to transition to independence. Your support is needed now more than ever.
Homelessness is not a choice. Homelessness doesn't discriminate.
I'm seeking your support by asking you to donate so that I can reach my fundraising target. Every dollar counts!
Together, we have the power to end youth homelessness.
